PORATION OF NEW YORK.

N'EW YORK, N. Y., A COR- LIGH'IING FIXTURE.

Application filed July 15, 1925.

This invention relates to lighting fixtures and has more particularly reference to an enclosure for an electric bulb, the main object and feature of .the invention being to obviate the necessity of the expensive shade now so generally used and also to admit of unusual and bizarre lighting effects and of rapid and easy change from one effect to another.

In the accompanying drawings the invention is disclosed in a concrete and preferred form in which:

Fig. 1 is a vertical-sectional View of a lighting fixture embodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a detail view of the resilient means for supporting one of the cup-shapev lapping relation.

or other means surrounding the free end of the bulb. V

In the present case, other specific means are employed for holding this member, such means taking here the form of resilientv means surrounding the fixtureadjacent the base of the bulb. 1 r

1 indicates a socket; 2 an electric bulb; 3 a cup-shape member surrounding and extending from the base of the bulb toward the free end thereof; and 4 a second cupshape member surrounding and extending from the free end of the bulb toward the base thereof. Member 8 may hang on the bulb; or, as shown, it may hang on the socket, and it will be observed that the free ends of the two members 3 and 4 are in over- 5 indicates a resilient means that surrounds and extends from the base of the bulb toward the free end thereof and that may hang on the bulb although, in

Serial No. 43,659.

the present instance, it is carried by the socket. As here shown, said resilient means consists of a ring secured to socket 1 by one or more screws 6, said ring having resilient arms 7 that extend with the first member 3 and engage and hold the free end of mem ber l. In the present case, member 3 hangs on ring 5. 7

It will be understood from the foregoing that by means of two cup-shape members any member of design or color effects may be quickly produced in connection with standard fixtures.

I claim:

1. A lighting fixture including: an electric bulb, a cupshape member surrounding and extending from the base of the bulb toward the free end thereof, resilient means also surrounding and extending from the base of the bulb toward the free end thereof within said member, anda second cup-shape member surrounding and extending from the free end of the bulb toward the base thereof with its free end engaging between the first member and the resilient means and held by the latter adjacent the free end of the first member.

2. A lighting fixture including: an electric bulb, a cup-shape member surrounding and extending fromrthe base of the bulb toward the free end thereof, a ring sur rounding the base of the bulb and provided with resilient arms extending, within said member, toward the free end of the bulb, and a second cup-shape member surrounding and extending from the free end of the bulb toward the base thereof with its free. end engaging between the'first member and the resilient arms and held by the latter adjacent the free end of the first member.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 8th day of July, 1925.
